GENETIC DIVERSITY AND CONSERVATION STRATEGIES OF ENDANGERED PLANT SPECIES

Abstract

Endangered plant species are vital to maintaining ecological balance and biodiversity. Genetic diversity within these species plays a crucial role in their ability to adapt to environmental changes and survive in the face of threats such as habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species. This paper examines the genetic diversity of endangered plant species and explores conservation strategies that enhance their survival. By employing molecular techniques, assessing population structures, and analyzing the impact of human activities, the study aims to provide insights into effective conservation methods. Strategies discussed include habitat restoration, ex-situ conservation, and the implementation of genetic management practices. Ultimately, this study underscores the importance of genetic diversity in conservation efforts and advocates for comprehensive approaches to preserve endangered plant species.
